INJECTION TYPES

With more than 60 years of experience to offer, our team helps men and women of all ages and walks of life mitigate the characteristics of their appearance that hold them back from realizing their true beauty. Dr. Connie Hiers uses only Allergan injection products – Botox®, JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC and JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC. All of these products are approved for cosmetic use by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

BOTOX®
Because the muscles under the skin are relaxed with BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, frown lines and deep wrinkles can become smooth. Your BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are administered by Dr. Connie Hiers. During your initial free consultation, Dr. Connie Hiers, a Texas board certified plastic surgeon, will ask you a series of questions to determine your goals for treatment.

At your initial appointment, Dr. Hiers and her team will ready you for the treatment by first taking a before picture, determine the number of units based on your concerns and explain to you the associated price so you are knowledgeable before injecting. When considering Botox, here are a few pointers we like our patients to know:

• To diminish the possibility of bruising discontinue the following items for 1-2 weeks prior to injections:

-Fish Oil

-Aspirin regiment

-All Vitamins beginning with G (such as ginger, ginseng, garlic)

• In general Botox is used cosmetically to help eliminate or smooth lines and wrinkles in the forehead, crowsfeet and glabella (between eyebrows) areas. It can also help create an arch in the brows.

• Botox takes approximately 3-5 days to take effect and typically lasts between 3-4 months.

JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC As we age, gravity, sunlight and other factors can reduce the amount of hyaluronic acid (HA) in your skin. The lack of HA causes your skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds – like those parentheses lines around your nose and mouth. This product can be used on the parentheses lines around your nose and mouth, in other wrinkles on your lower face and around the lip area. It is also used directly on the lips to add volume and shaping for those most kissable lips! Juvederm® filler usually last between 8 months to 12 months with results appearing instantly after treatment.*

Our office is now offering KYBELLA®, the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin by physically destroying fat cells in the treatment area.

Submental fullness can impact men and women, and can be influenced by several factors such as genetics, weight gain and aging, and can be resistant to diet and exercise. According to a 2015 survey by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, nearly as many aesthetically-oriented consumers are bothered by submental fullness (67%) as by lines and wrinkles around the eyes (69%).

When injected into subcutaneous fat, KYBELLA® causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.*
